Battlestar Galactica links and thoughts
Apr. 2nd, 2005 11:11 pmThere is an interesting interview with BSG scriptwriters Bradley Thompson and David Weddle here. No real spoilers for season 2, though you can make some guesses from the tone of their replies. Since speculation is fun, I give you the parts that were most intriguing to me:
( cut in case someone really doesn't want either quotes or speculation )
One thing I love about BSG is that all the characters screw up at one point, and all do things right and make mistakes. Fans being what they are - and I don't except myself - mistakes by favourites are easier excused than mistakes made by non-favourite characters, etc. Now I already wrote my big Laura Roslin defense post; she remains the most intriguing character of the show to me. (Not that I don't love the rest of the bunch as well.) So I was glad to find some excellent fanfic vignettes about her, set in the later episodes, this one and that one.
Some thoughts about the entire first season:
( Politics, Cylons and the Military, oh, my )
Now for season 2. I'm starting to count the days already...
